A horrifying surge of spiritual energy erupted from the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord's body, quickly engulfing the entire central area.
Following this, eight beams of rainbow-colored light shot from the massive eye and landed on the heads of eight individuals from the Holy Spirit Sect.
A thunderous roar echoed as the concentrated soul power within the rainbow beams poured directly into the eight evil soul masters, causing their soul power levels to skyrocket. Within seconds, three of the evil soul masters broke through their limits, reaching Level 90, the rank of a Titled Douluo!
"Congratulations, Sect Master! Our Holy Spirit Sect has gained three more Titled Douluos," remarked one of the evil soul masters standing beside the Sect leader, Zhongli Wu.
However, Zhongli Wu's expression remained calm and composed; he wasn't overly excited about the three new Titled Douluos. His gaze was fixed on a pair of women radiating fiery auras. One of them was the Holy Spirit Sect's Phoenix Saintess, Ma Xiaotao.
A series of explosions resounded from the forest's core, causing the air to swirl with violent gusts.
As time passed, the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord retracted the rainbow beams, and the eight evil soul masters ceased their rapid ascension. Besides the three who had become Titled Douluos, the other five each gained four to five levels of soul power.
"Well done," Zhongli Wu said with a nod of approval when Ma Xiaotao returned to his side. Her soul power level had risen from Level 81 to Level 85—a significant leap. Zhongli Wu seemed to envision the rebirth of the Holy Spirit Sect through Ma Xiaotao's strength.
"Zhongli Wu, are you satisfied?" the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord's voice echoed.
"Thank you, Emperor," Zhongli Wu replied, bowing slightly. The method of soul power infusion that the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord used to boost the eight individuals' soul power was far faster than any conventional cultivation technique, even more efficient than the soul power gained by devouring blood and flesh.
However, soul power infusion had its drawbacks. First, it required a powerful soul beast to act as a conduit—typically, one with cultivation of over 100,000 years. Second, a soul master could only undergo this process once in a lifetime; doing it more often could cause irreversible harm.
A sharp sound of something breaking the air suddenly cut through the forest. The Evil Eye Tyrant Lord flickered with a burst of rainbow light and vanished.
"Let's go," Zhongli Wu said, preparing to lead his followers away. But just as he turned, two agonized screams filled the air.
"Ah!" "Ah!"
The group of evil soul masters quickly turned around to see Ma Xiaotao standing behind two newly-promoted Titled Douluos. Her fiery hands pierced their chests in a brutal black-tiger-to-the-heart maneuver. Blood poured freely from their shattered hearts, painting a gruesome scene.
"Master… help… me," one of the dying Titled Douluos muttered, his face twisted in agony and despair.
Ma Xiaotao's sudden attack left them no chance to defend themselves, leaving them grievously injured and utterly unable to fight back.
"Ma Xiaotao, what are you doing?!"
The gathered evil soul masters were struck with shock and disbelief. It wasn't just because Ma Xiaotao was an evil soul master like them—her sudden violent action, with her Level 85 Douluo cultivation instantly killing two Titled Douluos, was beyond comprehension.
"Phoenix Saintess, you..."
Zhongli Wu's expression turned grim. He hadn't expected Ma Xiaotao to be so ruthless, and was about to order her to let them go. But before he could react, Ma Xiaotao's eyes blazed with a sinister red light, and from her forehead, a surge of dark flame erupted. The flames split into two tendrils, wrapping around the two nearly-dead Titled Douluos.
"Ahhh!"
"Ahhh!"
Their agonizing screams echoed through the area as the dark flames quickly drained the soul power and life force from the two Titled Douluos, leaving them as dried husks. They were dead, their bodies shriveled and drained of blood.
At the same time, Ma Xiaotao's power surged as she absorbed the essence of the two Titled Douluos. Her soul power level jumped from Level 85 straight to Level 90, attaining the rank of a Title Douluo!
"That's... the aura of a Titled Douluo!"
"She's reached the Titled Douluo level!"
The fear on the faces of the other soul masters was palpable. It was now clear why Ma Xiaotao had attacked—she was after their power. The newly-promoted evil soul master who had just reached Titled Douluo status was trembling, afraid he might be next.
"Phoenix Saintess, you've gone too far."
Zhongli Wu's voice was sharp as he reprimanded her. A crushing invisible pressure descended on Ma Xiaotao, reminding her that even among evil soul masters, there were boundaries not to be crossed. The Holy Spirit Sect had rules, and killing their own wasn't allowed; otherwise, they would have destroyed themselves from within long ago.
"They were too weak," Ma Xiaotao said, meeting Zhongli Wu's intense glare. Her cold demeanor belied the effort it took to withstand his oppressive pressure. "They didn't deserve to be Titled Douluos. I can contribute more to the Holy Spirit Sect."
Zhongli Wu raised an eyebrow slightly at Ma Xiaotao's explanation.
Though Ma Xiaotao had killed two Titled Douluos, her words carried no indication of rebellion against the Holy Spirit Sect. It seemed her actions were driven purely by the desire to become stronger.
"There mustn't be a next time," Zhongli Wu said with a cold snort as he withdrew his oppressive aura from Ma Xiaotao. He chose not to punish her, but his voice carried a stern warning. He knew that if it weren't for the fact that she was under the protection of that woman, Ma Xiaotao would never have dared to act so recklessly in his presence.
"Understood," Ma Xiaotao replied, relieved as the pressure dissipated. The usually haughty soul master knew she had to submit to Zhongli Wu's authority. Despite her extraordinary talent, Zhongli Wu was a genuine Level 99 Ultimate Douluo; with just a thought, he could end her life.
Fortunately for her, she had made the right gamble. After this, she would truly become a Titled Douluo.
With a sigh of relief and an excited gleam in her eyes, Ma Xiaotao felt the thrill of her new power.
Zhongli Wu swept his sleeve, signaling the others to follow. With that, he and the group of evil soul masters took off, leaving the Evil Eye Forest behind.
